Stories, Reflections and Conclusions of Life on the Inside

Ascending Above Religion

There is no separation between us and our innate divinity and there is no separation between us and all that is. This belief that we are separate from God and that we must earn the right to Heaven through penance to religion is in illusion created to block us from discovering the truth. The truth that we are all One with God.

The illusion of separation has pitted humanity against each other and prevented us from recognizing and embracing our own truth. The veil of separation many of us have been taught to believe in only exists when we believe it does and is an illusion that was created to keep us under control through the ambiguity of fear. Where this belief came from, and whether it was fed to us consciously or not, is irrelevant. It is simply a part of our collective evolution and we are outgrowing it.

Love conquers all.

The supremacy, competition and separation that are based in fear are coming to an end. The time of control-over and victim-under is coming to an end. The time of obedience and submission is coming to an end. The time of master and servant is coming to an end. The time of masculine dominance and feminine subordination is coming to an end. As these archaic beliefs of fear and separation come to an end, a time of love and oneness is emerging.

The time of a new earth based in love has come, as the Divine Feminine emerges to take Her place in balance and equality. With Her return she brings love, compassion, understanding, collaboration, clarity, creativity, healing and the nurturing of all of humanity. She loves her children without fear, guilt or expectation and sees the infinite possibilities that exist for us individually and collectively. She encourages us through love rather than obedience through fear. She inspires us to open our eyes in wonder, rather asking that we see only through blind faith. She loves all of Her children equally.

Now comes the time that we recognize that human rights must take precedence and that all beings are deserving of respect, dignity and equality. The time of understanding that human rights are our Divine birthright, and that all other rights are man-made. The energies of transformation, understanding, and unity are now overriding fundamentalism, judgment and separation. It is time for love to conquer all, because love really is the most powerful force in the Universe and it is all there really is. Everything else is an illusion based in the limitations of our ancient physical understanding.

Suffering is no longer necessary.

Suffering is no longer necessary to get us to God and never has been, that has always been part of the illusion of fear and control. The illusion of fear and separation is coming to an end as all truths are revealed and much of humanity is ready to ascend above religion. We have evolved into our own truth and connection to Spirit without the limitations and constrictions of dogma. Each one of us now has the ability, for the first time in our human history, to make conscious free-will choices as all truths are brought into the light. We are no longer limited by the information that is fed to us by controlled sources. We can choose to no longer be manipulated by fear and coercion. We can each choose actions and perceptions that limit us individually and collectively, or we choose actions and perceptions that liberate us individually and collectively. We can choose to follow our own truths, rather than the beliefs that others have placed upon us.

Every belief we have, every word we speak and every action we take ultimately affects all of humanity and our collective evolution. We are all co-creators of our reality and we can choose to no longer buy into the belief that we are separate. We are all One with all that is, and each of us play a role in our collective, conscious evolution. It is up to each of us to recognize that we are all One with each other and One with that which many call God. Together we create a new reality based in love rather than fear.

Those of us who have ascended above religion are here to teach others how to find their own truth, follow their own path and find their own connection to Spirit.

Hello Sister. I have been reading your site and wanted to make a few comments.
Separation is an illusion.
There is no separation between us and our innate divinity and there is no separation between us and all that is. This belief that we are separate from God and that we must earn the right to Heaven through penance to religion is in illusion created to block us from discovering the truth. The truth that we are all One with God.
Comment: This is not necessarily the truth. The truth is that there is a separation between us and out innate divinity. The separation is twofold. 1. Our ignorance, out of which we must grow through experience. 2. Our flawed instincts that have become imbued in our soul over time, past lives, (Call it pre-existence if you will.) Every instinct you are born with, you are also responsible for, good or bad. God was not handing out weaknesses to spirits at the doors of life to make us stronger, nor talents to bless us. That is a false notion. Every reaction we make to surrounding circumstances is who we are to that point in time, regardless of our age. Time is an immutable part of real spiritual progression, because no one can become perfect in an instant. To rewrite the ungodly instincts of our soul is the purpose of a path of faith.
Earning the right to heaven through Penance is a misnomer. Sorrow for sin is real for the sinner and the ungodly, but it has a purpose and an end. The word penance implies payment for sin, and you have spoken correctly, is so far as payment for sins cannot earn us into heaven. Heaven we must become, that’s the only way it exists.
I think it is an over simplification that an illusion of separation has been consciously created to bloc us from discovering the truth, (from which God would not keep us anyway. I don’t believe Brothers Joseph of Brigham or even Warren Jeffs consciously created an illusion that we are separate from God, though I am sure that the real separation we dwell under has been used by men and woman, and the spirit of man, to further their own wishes and desires, contrary to the spirit Jesus lived by.
The truth is that we can become one with God, but it isn’t that we are one with God, that is new age mislead pseudo religion. It’s another false religion/belief.

Comment: The separation is not an illusion, it is a fact. We are all separate from God is so far as we have not yet become like God. Some spirits are very darkened, some not so much, most of us shades of grey, and a few driving and led towards the light. If you stray too far into new age waffle you will lose your own footing, your own path. Trust me, YOU WILL. It is inevitable. A falsehood cannot feed a spirit.
The evidence of this is that you will burn temporal and spiritual energy, and time, but it won’t feed you and your pursuits will become catabolic, or you will begin to feed off your followers spirits, (much like the situation you ran from.) Don’t do that sister. You weren’t born were you were born because you couldn’t handle what you were born to. You have the capacity to be a servant in God’s hands, BUT, if you don’t get personal revelation on what you are to teach, (I mean real heavenly contact) you will mislead your brothers and sisters. You must love truth more than anything, more than yourself, more than your desire to help others, for a long long time, or you will teach part truths, and you already know where that gets us.
If you don’t feel to post up corrections to your thinking online, you must ask yourself why? I don’t wish to pull you down publicly, but you have posted publicly, so there is only one way to face the situation. Honesty wont hurt in the long run. I would make a few more comments, but will wait and see.

My truths are not based on new age teachings I have picked up along my life journey. They are the revelations of my soul in my own soul’s progression. I have felt this Oneness in every cell of my being, the indisputable, unconditional love of Source. It is the very essence of who I am and is the very essence of everyone and everything in the Universe. Perhaps I have this experience as a result of the evolution of my soul having earned it, and yet that is not the vision I was given. What I see, feel and know within myself is that we cannot separate ourselves from that Source Intelligence we call God, although we can certainly pinch ourselves off and dim the light within us until it is virtually extinguished. God has never kept us from the truth because it is a part of who we are and is carried in our soul’s memory. The belief in separation is human-made and has existed for many thousands of years. There are numerous theories about when and why it was created which I choose not to focus on. My focus is on teaching others to follow their own truth and to find the connection to Spirit within themselves. Once we find that Oneness within ourselves we are no longer bound by religion or by the limiting beliefs that have been placed upon us. There are still many who need a middle-man to get to God while in this physical reality because that is where they are in their personal evolution. My truth is mine and your truth is yours. I do not dispute, judge or condemn your truth because it is true for you based on your own soul’s progression and understanding.

To get the the nub of our individual view points on origin, you say we cannot be discontected from God. I say we are disconected and must become God. I agree that we must transcend religion, but transcend isnt to rubbbish it, because buried in the major religions, in the original teachings, was the path. If you tell people they can ‘follow their own truth,’ well, its relative to the individual, so that is not actually a universal truth, it will mislead as many as it helps. Much better to tell souls to surrender themselves to light, truth, righteousness, wherever it may be. I teach that no soul should join a religion but by the spirit of God, and no soul should leave a religion but by the spirit of God. Learning the spirit of God is the challenge, because almost everyone in a religion will tell you they know it and they sort of follow it or have. I dont disagree strongly with your desires or motives, I will only seek to be of value in the things God has made known to me.
Getting back to the original point. Either we cannot be disconected from God, (dont call it universal source, God is real, from my own revelations I know this) or else we can be. I disagree that we always were connected with God, because when in their presence I was unable to conduct myslef with the Love they displayed, I then became aware that i did not yet have the love they had, and that this took time to imbue, become, in us. So that is one of the purposes of life, to practice pure love (and righteousness) until these are who we are. What we practice we consistently become. I hope this conveys better my knowledge.

One further point on what you desire to teach.
People will not find their ‘truth’ their ‘spiritual connection’ with God, etc, unless they are obedient to principles of Godliness. I mean the very same principles God lives by. Such as Justice, (its a big topic for daily life and how we live, how we earn, how we give) truth, (another huge area each much study) righteousness, (how we apply truth,) and all the ennobling virtues. This is what we must teach sister. So dont lead people out of religion until the spirit of God says that its right for that individual, unless of course that religion is majorly corrupt. But if you do lead them out, tell them to keep the light, keep the truth that was therein, else you harm our work, you harm our brothers and sisters, and you hurt the work of God, just as you are aware that others do also, in the name of God and his ‘priesthood,’ not always due to darkness in their souls, but often due to zeal without knowleodge, ignorance etc.

Thank you for your concern. Yes, the overall path and spiritual truths do exist within the core of every religion and also exist without religion. Universal truths are universal. It is not my intention to draw followers away from religion as every individual has their own path, and for many their religion is in alignment with their path. My students are those who have already left religion after having found that religion is no longer in alignment with their soul’s journey.
